Does not load any web pages
Brand new pc, new download of Firefox. App opens and allows web addresses to be entered but does not load anything. Nothing happens, it's a blank page. I can't access any settings pages either. I've downloaded and reinstalled Firefox a few times and I got an error message during installation two of the times. I've attached a screenshot of the error message, which reads "firefox.exe - System Error // The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

What's your computer system and Firefox version?
You can check for issues caused by a corrupted or incomplete Visual C++ installation that is missing runtime components (Redistributable Packages) required by Firefox, especially VCRUNTIME140_1.dll.
Install both 32-bit and 64-bit "Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019" downloads, (x86: vc_redist.x86.exe and x64: vc_redist.x64.exe) from https://support.microsoft.com/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
You may not need the latter (32-bit version) if you use 64-bit Firefox. You may have to reboot the computer. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In another thread, a user reported that a recent update of Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit (version 415) may be causing symptoms similar to the VC Runtime problem. If you have MBAE, it should have a setting to exempt Firefox. You could test whether that makes any difference.

I installed the 64-bit "Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019" and the problem has been resolved. Thanks FredMcD!
